I've been trying to get that Shogun Warriors Godzilla on and off since I got a real job in 2001. Just never seemed to be in the right place at the right time. He is one impressive peice. Congrats.

Thanks, man. You'll get yours some day. All it takes is a little perserverance and a little dough.

Any truth to that?

Yeah, it is a bit wobbly. And the transformation took me a bit to get. But I blame that on the lame instructions. I wish they put written instructions on these damn things like they did in the old days. It took me about 5 extra minutes of fumbling around to get the transformation right.

First, I guess they redesigned the Superhero Squad figures, and they now have outwardly moving shoulders, wrist joints, and moving legs. They're really cool, though I dunno if I'm gona go beyond my standard Doom for the Doom Collection. He came with Iron Man, so he can CRUSH HIM.

Cool figure! Useless feature, which is sad, because I do like a good light-up feature. It's just that his head is kinda translucent, but the light doesn't go past his chest. The head only sorta lights up if it's completely dark and well...that's not enough, especially when it's his head that glows the most to fire off death beams.

Next I found something from some line called Redakai, which looks like the next Hey-Kids-Collect-'em-All kinda thing. There's a card game involved and blah blah blah...important part is that it's a REALLY cool figure! Very articulated.

Yeah I just picked up a set of DCUC wave 18 at Wal-Mart, passed on the Batman Legacy wave 1 (there were a ton). Wal-Mart is set to have a DC endcap in August, some stores seem to be setting them early.

Well, I did see a blurb about it on the Gigan box but since I can't read a lick of Japanese I didn't really know what was going on. But I figured it be about time they release a Godzilla figure in this line. I'm playing catch up right now since Angillas was my first Revoltech purchase. And since they average about 50 bucks each (w/shipping), I'm budgeting myself to 2 Revoltech figures a month (with all my other purchases). Next on my agenda for next month is Rodan and Baragon!

Because she's Vera pretty! :mmgrin: The important question is... would you try to trade her for Christina Hendricks?

You are better with these Revoltechs than I am. I only get one every few months. Two a month is pretty good. For their size and detail they are incredible. They have done 2 Iron Man figures and a Batman plus Predator and Alien/Aliens. I really hope they do more comic characters like Spidey and Wolverine. I'd die for a Revoltech Hulk.

Near complete collection of Panosh Place Voltron via Craiglist, had to drive 3hrs to pick them up but for the price (near retail in the 80's) I was not going to complain

I just got an 80's Tandy 2-player electronic football game. I had one as a kid and wanted to own it again. It's pretty cool as it allows passing as well as running (like other football games). It has a little corrosion on the battery electrodes but otherwise it's in perfect working order. It also came with it's original box.

To top that off, I also managed to find Cyclops and bascially the whole wave he comes in (though I found bits and peices of that for a bit now, but never all together). Cyclops was the last guy I needed from that wave (90's high five) so I'm all set until the next wave.

FINALLY! Looks like Target is putting out this wave, so I actually found Thundercracker! This is my first complete set of Seekers ever.

Congrats. I know he was hard to find. I only ever saw one Thundercracker and one Wheeljack once at a Wal-Mart.

What?! Come on, Dis-Alexx-ia! I figured the first complete set of seekers you'd have would be the Masterpiece versions! Get with the program, man!

Plus, your forgetting Thrust, Dirge and Ramjet. Maybe Sunstorm too...

Nah, the Masterpeice versions would be too expensive to collect, and on top of that they'd just take up too much room. I'm happy enough with just the three classic Seekers, 'cause they were hard enough to get together. I had Ramjet, but I gave that up to my cousin 'cause I figured it would be just as hard to get the other two (especially since one of them is a con exclusive...then again, Thundercracker was an exclusive at one time too, but oh well). So I'm happy with these three and I'm able to call it a day on these guys!

I hit some discount stores today and had some good finds. I picked up DCUC: glow-in-the-dark variant Spectre at Tuesday Morning for $8. (I love glow-in-the-dark toys.) Then I found Transformers: Reveal the Shield voyager scale Grapple at TJ Maxx for $10.

Man I never find anything at TJ Maxx, it always looks like a nuclear bomb went off with crap everywhere :hmlol:

I picked these up the same time I did the Voltron above (from the same seller), I am missing 2 figures but this was such an underrated toyline!

I have had a lot of playsets over the years, Ft.Kerium had to be the most complex one I think I have ever put together (took me 2hrs) but its impressive on display so it was worth it

I just picked up the entire Young Justice 4" series 1 at Target today. Complete impulse buy since I did not want to start collecting another line, but standing them next to my JLU made me very happy! they fit in nicely!!!
